Basis and synopsis
NBC Local Media (the owned-and-operated stations division of NBC Universal), based on the success of its New York Nonstop service, began an initiative to create more local content for its other stations. During the fall of 2010, NBC launched new Nonstop channels on the secondary subchannels of its Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Chicago stations, and is rolling out versions of Nonstop to its California and South Florida stations by the first week of May 2011; NBC's owned-and-operated station in Hartford, Connecticut, WVIT, is expected to have a Nonstop channel of its own by sometime in 2011.[1]
DFW Nonstop follows the model of New York Nonstop, which features live news and public affairs programming, lifestyle shows (such as LXTV, Open House, etc.), rebroadcasts of NBC News content, entertainment news, and possible other various programs.
After several months of delays, DFW Nonstop began transmission on May 4, 2011.[2]
